How many of the current squad leave this summer?
If there are takers, I think the following are certain to be off:
Sanderson
Roberts
Chang
Yokoyama
Hall
Peacock-Farrell
Longelo
Anybody else you reckon could leave?
Possibly Fogarty and Khela but they're more likely to be loans.
They are all painfully obvious as we’re out on loan last season or shown not to be up to it
Expect a few others where we upgrade
I’m not saying all of these will leave but I think some will
May
Dykes
Hannson
Wright (in Jan)
Willumson
Leonard
As I don’t think those six will make the 1st 11 more often than not….I do like Leonard though it’s just the project may be accelerating more quickly than his development
Chang would be my only niggle could be a player and he'd do whatever Davies asked of him....he kept JJ out the side not so long back just give him another years contract I say and lets see if he gets his chance....Hall may go to Walsall injury prone and I know he don't want to leave the Midlands.
Reckon we could see bielik leave, not sure he will be happy just being a squad player as opposed to a nailed down starter
Lord knows why, but I really want Dykes to do well. maybe I am looking for a Juke replacement

He’s pants and didn’t do it for QPR in the champs and furthermore he will be well down the pecking order come sos.

Stoke 😜
He has a fairly similar record to Juke scoring about 1 in 6 with qpr.
Other than the two seasons where Juke got 15 and 14 goals, that's a similar record to the rest of his time with his.
There's definitely a role for Dykes here.
The obvious ones are BPF, Sanderson, Longelo, Yoko and Roberts. Most likely Chang, Hall with Khela and Fogaty going on loan. Possible outgoings are Buchanan, Hansson, Dykes, Leonard and Bielik. Buchanan and Hansson had terrible injury records, Dykes won't want to be 4th choice and if we do want to improve the midfield Leonard seems the one to make way. Bielik similar won't like being a squad player and most likely losing the captaincy to Klarer

Depends what you mean by "didn't do it". He played 156 league games for them. His goal ratio was slightly over 1 in 4. He's not prolific but he does have his qualities.

May was last years top goal contributor. Goals and assists combined.
He is a natural goal scorer.
He is also a top bloke.
I cannot for the life of me image any reason why people wouldn't want him at the club.
We need players that score. Unless we are about to sign the reincarnation of Jermaine Defoe we should be keeping him at all costs.
His drink problem is a problem. Need to get rid.

Dykes is a certain kind of forward - a role he is very competent at. He puts himself about, holds the ball up the top end of the pitch and brings the rest of the attacking unit into the game. It’s no coincidence Jay’s best performances came with Dykes off him.
But, some people see a striker, they see the hit rate and they see a slightly bumbly frame and that’s it. He was doomed the second he joined.
